In this following table there is a group of Moon phases called a “Moon Family” which all relate to this weeks' New Moon. Each “Moon Family” begins at a New Moon or Solar Eclipse and contains all four Moon phases connected by their zodiacal location and separated by nine-month intervals. A Moon family is a remarkable tool that links the dates your story lines in a pattern, developing over a two-and-a-quarter-year period. I have named the pattern the “Lunar Gestation Cycle” and when grouped form a Moon Family. See if your current situation connects to the dates in the table: The current New Moon at 12° LEO 48' on Thursday, August 4, 2005 is a member of the following :

New Moon	First Quarter Moon	Full Moon	Last Quarter Moon
08/04/05 12° Leo 48´	05/05/06 14° Leo 35´	02/02/07 12° Leo 59´	11/01/07 09° Leo 04´

Try making your own projections with the dates in this Moon Family. Think about your life currently in themes that occur over time along the dates found in this Moon Family. Notice how your story is woven into the bigger picture within this predictable timetable. Each phase carries your storyline into the future along a path of logical evolution. Related topics either personal or public can be projected to resurface on the dates shown in the future. When the current Moon Phase is a New Moon the events that are being seeded at this time and will develop over the next nine months then pivot in some notable way when the First Quarter Moon occurs on May 6, 2006. Personal or public scenarios will continue to develop at the next phase which is the Full Moon on February 2, 2007 when a major shift may occur allowing a culmination of activity and the opportunity to address the issues in an open and clear manner. At the Last Quarter Moon on November 1, 2007, you may be reaping the rewards of your efforts and planning for the future and making way for the new beginnings in nine more months. The sign Leo of this New Moon offers clues of the nature of the matters at hand. Please refer to How to use the Moon phase table.
